Style

A British pantomime on a range of Viking-themed sets.

Synopsis

In the 10th Century, Viking sailors know the legend of the Golden Bell, which can bring peace and prosperity to he who finds it. Our hero, Rolf, thinks he knows of its whereabouts on the distant Barbary coast. He and his crew set sail, bound for treasure or disaster. He is aided and abetted by the Golden Nymph, who protects him from the seafarer's god, Niord. Also on board ship is Rolf’s true love: the King's daughter, Thyra. Opposed to the Vikings are the Saracens, equally intent on finding the Golden Bell…

Style

Panto loosely based on the Hans Christian Andersen story.

Anemone has always wanted to visit the human world, watching the ships from her sea-home. But one day she makes a dreadful bargain with the sea-witch, swapping her voice for a pair of legs, and has only one day to get true love's kiss and remain human...

Synopsis

It is 980 A.D. and Freydis nurtures an ambition to become famous by getting herself into a Norse Saga. To do this she must impress The Wise One (Recorder of Sagas) with some deed of daring, a great adventure or victory in some ferocious battle. Unfortunately she has been told time and time again that the Saga is a male-only preserve. Undeterred she seeks to break the mould by sailing across the oceans to discover the New World, the safer alternative to going head-to-head with local bully-boy, Thorbrand the Destroyer. A tale of ambition, daring and Skandiwegian furniture.

Minimum Male roles = 14. Minimum Female roles = 14. Minimum total with doubling = 28. Minimum total without doubling = 28. No chorus. Whilst the play is written with 28 speaking parts and no chorus, some of the parts could be combined or redistributed, so other casting regimes would be possible.
